Reversed Lens Photography Studios specializes in fresh, boutique portraiture for every stage in life. Our passion is capturing the emotion inherent in the human experience-- the first days of babyhood, the jubilance of childhood, the awkwardness and anticipation of the teenage years, the sweetness of love and the beginnings of a life together-- and then translating those moments into heirloom-quality art.

Our blog is a combination of all of those moments. We highlight the latest sessions from our portrait and event work, as well as little glimpses into what drives our creativity and passion. Sometimes that's a product or vendor that we're thrilled to have stumbled into, or it might just be moments from our life that we felt compelled to share.

More than anything, we hope that you'll feel our passion: for beauty, even in the most unexpected places, for uniqueness, but most of all for the true, beautiful joy of real life.

Come see your life through a different lens with us today!

We’ve been so busy PHOTOGRAPHING our senior representatives that I haven’t had a chance to BLOG about our senior reps. But we have a whole bunch that are just waiting in the wings to be showcased and I’m thrilled to start with Amanda. We’ve been photographing their family for a couple of years now and...

Erin and Gus • Portland Oregon Wedding Photographers

I love the hub-bub of weddings, the nervous anticipation, the beautiful moments when two become one. Erin and Gus’ wedding was one of those days when everything comes together perfectly, in all it’s imperfectness, to create a truly beautiful couple. Erin had been quite sick leading up to the wedding with some flu bug or...

Megan • Jesuit Class of 2010 • Portland Oregon Senior Pictures

We’ve been getting to know Megan for about a year now. First we did a session with she and three of her best girlfriends, who have all known each other since attending the French American School together. Then she decided to be our senior rep for Jesuit High School this year and we were thrilled....

Hailey’s Simchat Bat • Portland Oregon Family and Event Photographers

Many people are familiar with the Jewish bris, which is performed on the eighth day after a baby boy is born to celebrate his life and give him a name in the Jewish tradition. The tradition that is less well-known is the Simchat Bat, the naming ceremony for little girls. We had the enormous pleasure...

Amanda • Jesuit Class of 2010 • Portland Oregon Senior Portraits

Maybe I shouldn’t admit this, but Amanda was actually the very first person that we ever took senior portraits of… when she was a sophomore! She is such a natural beauty that we borrowed her and pretended that she was a few years more advanced in the school age. The very next day we met...

The Hot Spot™: Paper Zone on Grand

It may seem like an obvious love, given that our studio is immediately above Paper Zone on Grand, smack in the middle between them and Rejuvenation Hardware. But I loved them long before we ever opened our studio. I’ve always been a textiles fanatic, paper included, and have wandered and imagined and conspired in this...

Tamra and Steve • Portland Oregon Wedding Photographers

We met Tamra and Steve through what seems to be a more and more common mode for us: through work and life. Tamra is a fabulous graphic designer who helped us re-brand RLP last fall, and so it was a natural progression for us to photograph her wedding when she and Steve decided to make...

Steve & Tamra e-session

We met Tamra last fall when we decided to revamp our entire studio image. She updated our logo, completely redesigned our website, and through the entire thing did a fabulous job and became a great friend. So when Steve proposed (on an incredibly romantic trip to NYC), we immediately accepted the offer to photograph their...

Harris and Friends

We did a session with Carter and her friends this summer, right as they prepared to depart for college, to celebrate their friendship. Carter’s younger sister, Harris, thought that the idea was so much fun that she decided she wanted to do a session to celebrate the birthday of one of her best friends. And...
